Default New Hartmanns Tomorrow

Got some 20 inch peelers in titanium and had them powdercoated in matte gun metal (aka anthracite). Went with titanium finish and powdercoated since they didn't offer their anthracite finish in et 25 and I didn't want to add spacers. Shipping was super fast from ACHtuning. Audi gets dropped off tomorrow - the shop also painted the chrome rim around the centercap and will be painting the calipers red. Will post pics tomorrow but was so excited that the audi was getting new shoes I just had to share!

It seems pretty weird that Hartmann doesn't offer that ET25 wheel in the anthracite color. Same wheel. Different final process. I want those wheels but don't love the idea of spacers...how much for the powder coating?

I thought it was pretty silly myself. I paid 175 per wheel which is on the expensive side but I'm stoked with the results. Here's some pics:

Love the wheels! I'm going to have mine powder coated when my car arrives with the 20" standard rims. Likely a semi glossy titanium color. The one thing I don't like is the ride height of the US SQ5. It would look soooo much better with the Euro ride height. Damned technicalities eh?

Nothing a little lowering can't fix :-)

Are you selling your stock wheels? If so which ones do you have?
